💖 sdlBasic — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual for sdlBasic, from the User Commands corner of the manual (section 1, iykyk). it's short, it's sweet, and it's literally the doorway to making games with BASIC. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

sdlBasic — it's the sdlBasic program editor, periodt. that's the whole job description and she wears it well 💅

✨ SYNTAX ✨

like, here's how you actually invoke her:

sdlBrt [file ..]

so you run sdlBrt and optionally hand her some files, and she'll take it from there 🌸

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so sdlBrt is a graphical GTK+ based editor — it's built on SciTE, which is the whole vibe — and its entire purpose in life is helping you program games in sdlBasic 🎮

and what even is sdlBasic, you ask? bestie. it's a small, efficient and multiplatform BASIC interpreter aimed at game creation, and it does all that using the power of the SDL library 🔥

and the origin story?? it was inspired by the old and glorious AMOS 👑 like, the ancestors were iconic and she's carrying the legacy forward. we love a respectful queen.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

wanna go deeper? the homepage of sdlBasic lives at http://www.sdlbasic.altervista.org/ — go click, go read, go make something 🦋

and that's the whole page bestie, no cap. this lil' beauty comes to you from July 2007 and it's part of the sdlBasic package — mwah, go write a game 💜✨
